Reduced Course Load

All students on an F-1 visa must enroll in and complete a full course of study throughout
the academic year (a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester for undergraduates and
9 credit hours per semester for graduates) and maintain satisfactory academic progress.

ALWAYS consult ISO BEFORE you drop your course load to part-time or withdraw from all your courses; otherwise,
you jeopardize your LEGAL status.

If you are in your first or last semester of study and your academic advisor recommends
that you drop below full-time, please complete the request for a Reduced Course Load
through iStart.
